A new mystery ...

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I found the relevant passage:

"But if Apu-Punchau is myself, what was the body I found on Tzadkiel's 
ship?"
Nearly whispering, Famulimus sang, "The man whom you saw dead your 
mother bore. Or so it seems to me from what's been said. Now I would 
weep for her if I had tears, though not---perhaps---for you still living 
here. What we did here for you, Severian, the mighty Tzadkiel 
accomplished there, remembrance taking from your dead mind to build your 
mind and you anew."
